The sleeping-room of the children need not necessarily connect with the day quarters; it may be in another portion of the house entirely, and it is quite fitting that it should be near or in connection with the sleeping-rooms of the parents. Many a wise, careful mother so arranges that her children shall sleep within call, during their early, tender years, that she may hasten to them at a moment’s notice; that she may guide and guard them from the many subtle dangers of early life. Yet the sleeping quarters for children, as well as for adults, should always be commodious, well ventilated and in every way wholesome. Above all. there should not open from the nursery—either the day or the night apartments — any bathroom or other connection with the sewer or with cesspools or like method of disposing of waste. •‘Modern conveniences” are desirable and comparatively indispensable; but they should be carefully located, so that from them there shall be no peril to life and health. Set bowls, with hot and cold water, are very convenient many times; but it is a question whether they should be introduced into any sleeping-rooms; and they certainly should not be, unless the connection and the work of the piumbers are such that under no possible circumstances can there be danger to health. The momentary convenience is poor recompense for the death or serious sickness of a beloved momof the family,— Good Housekeeping. Dr. A. F. Schafer, at Dr. J. A.

Congressman Crain, of Texas, says: “Garza, the Mexican revolutionist who is creating such a stir along the Rio Grande, is one of the gamest men I ever met. He looks the typical frontier desperado, yet he is not a rude, illiterate fellow, as some might imagine. He is fairly well educated, and prior to his late bold break was running a newspaper, printed on the Texas side in the Spanish language. Garza has been in countless private brawls and is a lucky fellow to be alive, for he has been pierced by many bullets.” Referring to the railroad mileage in Indiana, an exchange says: With one exception Indiana has more miles of railroad compared to the total area than any other state in the union, Massachusetts only outranking Hoosierdom in this regard. If all the railroads were strung across the state in parrallel lines they would be only five and two-thirds miles apart, so that on an average our farmers have only a haul of one and three-eighths miles to reach a railroad. Considering the density of population this state is better supplied with transportation facilities than any other state, and it is doubtful if there will be any marked increase in railroad mileage in the near future. The Goshen Times tells the truth in the following: There is a great deal of puerile sentimentality in much of the so-called prison philanthropy. It is well to see that even criminals are not brutally treated, but this desire is too often allowed to reach silly reprehensible lengths. People who shudder at the crimes the law is frequently called upon to punish will work themselves into a state of fevered agitation is displaying their sympathy for criminals who have been found guilty. It is rare that just. errs in conviction. Rather does the fault lie in too great leniency. The vrrdict of a jury may be safely taken as very nearly conclusive evidence that the criminal deserves his punishment and is no longer a proper subject for excessive sympathy or mawkish sentimentality. According to the Walkerton Independent the agents of the “Three I” railroad, which is seeking an outlet to Lake Michigan, say the road will give South Bend the go by and run its line through Crumstown and several miles west of .this city. This is really, o f teas “Three I,” and it doesn’t take that many eyes to see it. The probability is, however, that if the road comes north it will manage to make connections with South Bend.—South Bend Sunday News. The Independent assumed nothing in stating that the “Three I” road would give South Bend the go-by. We based our article upon the statements made by the “Three I” agent. He said that the road would miss South Bend, and gave his reasons for it. South Bend is a secondary matter with the “Three I” company. Their object is to tap the pine regions of Michigan and the route they have mapped out, they claim, would be less expensive to them in various ways than to go through South Bend. The agent doubtless stated the matter correctly, as he would have no object in lying about it. The New Albany Tribune recently received the following letter from a subscriber who failed tp get his name in the paper: “Stop my paper. My wife and I have been confined to the house for over two weeks with grip. Not a word about us in the Tribune. Everybody else that has had the grip have got their names in the Tribune. Now I am not a kicker, but it is the last straw that broke the camel’s back. I have been a subscriber and reader of the Tribune from the first copy to the last, and have paid for it too. I can not stand to be ignored in this way. A Subscriber.” The above only serves to reveal the disposition of a ciass of people with which every community is infested. Newspapers are published expressly for the purpose of giving the news, and they are glad to get and print any item of interest. That is their business. But a newspaper man can’t be running constantly from house to house to find out who is sick or who is going away or. a visit; that would be impracticable. It is an utter impossibility to catch every little item, no matter how industrious the newsgatherer may be. Now the crank who wrote the above letter to the Tribune imagines that that paper purposely failed to mention the sickness of himself and wife. He believes that the Tribune’s one great aim is to studiously avoid mentioning his name in the paper. The Tribune should employ a reporter especially to look after this man and publish every little circumstance connected with his daily life. Dr. Kilmer, of South Bend, Ind., pays especial attention to all kinds of surgery and female complaints.

Here’s Figures for You, Farmers. [Register-Gazette, Rockford, Ills.] The people of Miner sent three of their citizens, H. L. Ogdon, Henry Freitag and Valentine Graff, to Elgin to learn whether the creamery method of selling milk was profitable to the farmers of the neighbor-hood supplying it. Among their reports were that of 11. E. Stearns, who carries on a general farm but kept 29 cows and sold to the Geneva cream y. The year ending Sept. Ist, he sold 185, 135 pounds of milk for $1,832,40 and from calves and other sources received $2,058, besides 37 per cent, on his creamery stock. AV. J. Lee, of St. Charles, averaged S6O a year on his cows besides getting beck the buttermilk, on which he kept 20 hogs. Mr. Ford, of St. Charles, keeps 65 to 75 cows and clears about <>4,000 yearly; keeps two hands. The Batavia Farmers Association owns its creamery plant which cost $9,000 and in sixteen months running has earned $5,400; its stock cannot be bought for twice its face value. The committees reccomended the people of Miner to organize an association on the co-operative plan to make butter and chese with the lattest improved machinery. A SHIP CANAL FOR INDIANA. A Flan to Connect the Wabash River and Lake Michigan Contemplated. The pet scheme of the late Congressman Orth, that of building a ship canal from the Wabash river to Lake Michigan, is being revived. Samuel Shoemaker, a prominent citizen of Terre Haute, and who was a delegate to the recent water ways convention held at Evansville, has under contemplation the above scheme and is urging an appropriation to carry out the project. In referring to the matter the Terre Haute Gazette says: “It is unnecessary to discuss the necessity of the improvement of the Wafor evei3fljo<iy»y animportant arter^f-crad®. be made. How to obtain the improvement has been a perplexing question for many years. Consideile money was spent some years ago in improving the stream, but this did not suffice to make the river navigable at all seasons of the year. Mr. Shoemaker has given the matter careful consideration, and is of the opinion that eight dams similar in construction, although not so expensive as the one at Mt. Carmel, will make the river navigable from Lafayette to the mouth. Among the towns besides Terre Haute that would be vastly benefitted by having the Wabash made navigable may be mentioned New Harmony, Grayville, Mt. Carmel, Vincennes, Russellville, Palestine, Merom, Hutsonville, York, Darwin, Clinton, Montezuma, Newport, Eugene, Lodi, Perryville, Attica, Williamsport, Lafayette and Delphi. Once the co-operation of these towns is assured there will be smooth sailing ahead. Mr. Shoemaker thinks $1,000,000 will defray the expenses of building the dams and will ask Mr. Brookshire to labor for an appropriation of that amount. A detailed explanation of the proposed canal connecting the Wabash and Lake Michigan can not be given until a survey is made. The enterprise was the pet scheme of the late Mr. Orth, of Lafayette, but he never lived to see it worked into tangible shape. The canal if built would cover a territory of about eighty miles in length and would cost millions of dollars. It will run into some suitable harbor near Chicago and would be the means of relieving the Chicago river of an immense amount of traffic. The canal would tap the Kankakee river and relieve that stream of her overflow which is precisely what the people of that section have been desiring.

TO THE PUBLIC. J. J. Rinehart and His Wife, Mary Rinehart, Each Make a Statement to the Public. “Now then, I want to state to the public the condP’’on in which 1 found my wife —she was in a state of unconsciousness. She was surely drugged by that man. My wife received a telegram from her son-in-law to come to South Bend, that the family were all sick. The statement made by the Tribune that my wife and MeNeff came there on -the same train is untrue. They did not go to that city on the same train. My wife went there on Tuesday and MeNeff on Wednesday. I wish to state to my neighbors and friends that lam sorry that I pursued the hasty course that I did; there was a better way for me to have done, but I did not see it until too late. J. J. Rinehart.” STATEMENT OF MRS. RINEHART. “To the Public: I feel it my duty to correct the false statments made against me by some of the South Bend papers and among the people. I did get into trouble with a man by the name of MeNeff. I wouldn’t have gone to the Bend when I did had I not been called there by a. telegram on account of sickness. I never made any arrangements to meet him nor never thought of it, this man being almost a stranger to me. I went to the depot with the expectation of meeting a girl from here and intended to try and persuade her to go and work for my daughter, Minnie, so I could go home. She did not come. This man got off the train. I went up town and he went the same way. He invited me to have a glass of wine. At first 1 refused, but he insisted and I consented thinking it but an act of kindness. In a few minutes I knew but little, if anything. I pledge my word that I didn’t know where I was found or where I was taken to, until next morning. What mistake I made lam sorry of and I have heartily repented before God, and 1 know I am forgiven, and I see we must watch and pray or we will get into trouble. At one time I was a true Christian and through abuse I rather backslid, but 1 have given my heart to God again and now we have family prayer at night. 1 expect by the grace of God to ever live a faithful Christian. Mary’ Rinehart.” MILLARD FILLMORE. [Detroit Free Press.] Millard Fillmore, the Vice-President, took the empty chair left by General Taylor and becaum President, of the United RHtps. The ‘'Fillmores have an honorable record in American history. They settled near Ipswich, Mass., and the President’s grandfather served under Gen. Stark at Bennington in the war of the revolution. His son Nathaniel emigrated to Summer Hill, Cayuga Co., N. Y.. and followed the life of a small farmer The narrow means of bis father deprived Millaid of any educational ad vantages; books were scarce and dear, and at the age of fifteen the boy Lad read nothing but the common school readers and the Bible. At that period he was sent into the then wilds of Livingston county t< learn the clothing trade, and after 4 months, to Niles to learn the same business together with wool carding. Soon after a small village library was formed, and ho read and studied every leisure moment. Four years passed in thia way, when, at the age of nineteen, he met thegreal and good Judge Wood, of Cayuga county, who advised him to quit his trade and study law. He did more. He took him to his office, gave him the use of his fine law library, and advanced money to defray his expenses until success should enable him to pay bad the loan. Fillmore’s legal studies were completed in 1823, and he began pra • ticing law in Aurora. He gained ground surely and steadily, and in 1828 he was sent to the State Legislature. His Congressional life began in 1833. when he was elected to the House of Representatives. In 183 Ghe was again elected to Congress. In 1811 he ran for Governor of New York, but failed, though three years after he was chosen State Collector. The next year he was nominated for Vice-Presi-dent on the same ticket with Gen. Taylor, and on the death of Taylor, sixteen months after his inauguration, he immediately assumed the vacant power. He selected a cabinet distinguished for ability and patriotism, and though his life had sprung from humble beginnings he filled his high station with dignity aud retired from office with the respect of all.

Oid-Timo California Hospitality. The kindness and hospitality of the ; native Californiaus have not been overstated. Up to the time the Mexican regime ceased in California they had a custom of never charging for anythin^ that is to say, for entertainment food' use of horses, etc. You were supposed’ even if invited to visit a friend, to bring your blankets with you and' one would be very thoughtless if he traveled end did not take a knife with him to cut his meat. When you had eaten.the invariable custom was to rise, delivet to the woman or hostess the plate on which you had eaten the meat and bei’ns—for that was about all they had •-and say, "Muchas gracias Sluora" (“Many thanks, madame”); and the hostess as invariably replied, "Buen provecho" (“May it do you much good”). The Missions in California invariably had gardens with grapes, olives, figs, pomegranates, pears, and . apples, but the ranches scarcely ever I had any fruit. When you wanted a ' horse to ride, you would take it to the I next ranch —it might lie twenty, thirtv, I or fifty miles —and turn it ont there, and sometime or other in reclaiming ; his stock the owner would get it back! In this way you might travel from one enc. of California to the other.— Tin । Culurg.
